USNewsie 50 Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 Wonder if it’ll continue to trend that way. NBC has been closing the total viewer gap lately. GMA really needs to hit reset and dump Strahan from the main hour. And dump the studio audience in the 8 am hour too please.

Action Newsroom 1263 Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 That is WRONG. NBC is NOT number 1, they need to be in 3rd place because of the low ratings that NBC just did in 2018, not cool. When 2019 arrives...people will still NOT WATCH NBC at all!!!!! lol What do you want, a recount? 2 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/13158-today-show/page/47/#findComment-215815 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TVNewsJunkie15 66 Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 (edited) It appears Meredith Vieira has now left the network, as we have not seen her on any NBC News shows (She did not even take any part in NBC coverage of the Winter Olympics this year like she done from 2010-20186, in well over a year now. The last time she appeared on TODAY Show was back in January 2017 I believe. It kind of a shame really. She was a great asset for the show and the network. I wonder how the different the show could have been if she had stayed for 5 more years like NBC wanted her too. They may have been able to hold onto Number 1 (or the streak) for a little bit longer. Savannah is fine I like her, but TODAY Show has not been the same since Meredith left. I do miss watching Matt, Meredith, Al and Ann some days. Their time together was too short.. they were a good team. Katie and Meredith were the Good Old Days. The Show will never be that good again Edited October 31, 2018 by TVNewsJunkie15 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/13158-today-show/page/47/#findComment-215832 Share on other sites More sharing options...

She appeared recently promoting PBS’s Great American Read, and she’s done it in the past for the show. She may not be on the rolls anymore but she may be coming back - kind of like Jane Pauley did but not in a regular segment.

rkolsen 1684 Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 [QUOTE="Eat News, post: 221728, member: 2985"]You can catch a "shuttle" (DC-NYC) every half hour, but it's still flying, and flying anywhere is a pain in the ass...even for network snooty's. So overly inflated ego's want the "private" company owned shuttle (ie:private jet) when they don't or can't make the regular shuttle. Bop between DC and NYC daily or even a few times a week and it takes a toll on anyone. I sure as hell wouldn't do that trip nowadays, because flying anywhere is a giant pain in the ass. Even for the short hop to DC it still sucks worse when you get delayed and say to yourself... "This flight used to take an hour before 9-11" Take my advice...take the train.[/QUOTE] [quote name='wabceyewitness']@Eat News is right — train from NYC to DC is cheaper, more comfortable and ends up getting you there in the same amount of time of flying once you factor in traveling to/from out of the way airports, security line, wait time to board, etc.[/QUOTE] Norah O’Donnel splits her time and frequently posts her races to get to the Delta Shuttle to fly to DC with her kids in tow. Her husbands a successful resteraunteur who has three restaurants in the DC area and one at Dulles. 3 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/13158-today-show/page/47/#findComment-216065 Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of the above, GMA has MORE viewers than Today. NBC News and TODAY have NO viewers tuning in and Savannah and Hoda are unlikable to watch. Robin, Michael and George are likeable to watch. So NBC's worst ratings along with Today are WRAL...and WBTS (back move Comcast). Sorry tvnewstalk, I have no words right now and I wish Today could eliminate the Orange Room and weekend editions as well oh and the 9am and 10am hours.

Do you think it has to do with Megyn Kelly leaving the Today franchise, or is GMA becoming unwatchable for a large number of viewers that might have switched to Today? We get it. You don’t care for Today and NBC News. You’ve made it quite clear in the past. NBC is not going to cede the final two hours of the Today show back to the affiliates. It's the most profitable show on the big 4. NBC could run music videos, color bars, or stock footage of paint drying in those two hours and companies would still buy ads. As absurd and redundant as the 4-hour format is, it’s here to stay. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/13158-today-show/page/47/#findComment-217059 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think it has to do with Megyn Kelly leaving the Today franchise, or is GMA becoming unwatchable for a large number of viewers that might have switched to Today? Maybe a combo of both. These ratings wins are different the ratings wins back in January after the firing of Matt Lauer because Megyn Kelly was never really apart of the first two hours. Interesting too that TODAY did post growth in both categories. Interesting to see what happens in the weeks to come.

wabceyewitness 818 Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 In think curiousity over how they would report the Megyn Kelly news certainly earned them some new viewers, but they’ve been trending toward closing the total viewer gap for quite some time now. It was only a matter of time. GMA has lost its energy and forcing Strahan on viewers as a hard news journalist is part of the reason. 3 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/13158-today-show/page/47/#findComment-217068 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Action Newsroom 1263 Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 (edited) It's revealed that the Third Hour will be leaving Studio 6A in the new year. Reasons are logistics -- i.e. running from one studio to another [both in separate buildings] in time for the show, not appearing in the last quarter of the main show and using a studio/set forever trapped in infamy. Makes ssense to me, but I'll miss this verison in front of a studio audience.

Makes ssense to me, but I'll miss this verison in front of a studio audience. I wondered how well the 1A-to-6A thing was going. I'd probably be out of breath if I had to dodge traffic and run across a plaza, and then find the red light and correct camera--and look like I just walked across a hall. The audience thing IMO has worn thin with me. I think it's because GMA has done it to death. Going outside and seeing the fans is one thing, but the oh-now-we-let-you-inside-here's-a-chair-while-we-entertain-you version, >ugh!<, I can't. The shiny-and-sterile look is getting old to me also. I miss the homey, comfy-couch morning show sets, but I know those won't be back anytime soon.
